Maybe I'm off, but wouldn't this be a good thing for Alabama? Yah it's a little bit of a diss at McCarron, but him affecting less of our wins would mean that we as a team are that much better, that we could do without him and still be well off?
It's not strictly "what they want". It's not like back in the day choosing a lesser Notre Dame team over undefeated Alabama for NC (1966). They may take an "other conference" #5 team if it was close or tight between #4 and #5 if #4 were the 2nd from a conference. However, in this year's...
Am I missing something? This is the caption on the link first posted, "The Crimson Tide are built for hard-hitting, fast-paced gridiron action, and we know that's exactly why you love them. Promote your Alabama gear to a level that'll proudly flaunt your team's skills and your own team...
Is it just me or do they not still receive these stipends? I thought I remember a story about Demeco Ryans possibly getting some players together to donate their stipend money to Hurricane Katrina. I could be way off about player or event, but I had heard that and thought stipends were still the...
For most teams, that may not be a big deal because you usually play a scrub team first. However, for us, that includes a top 10 VT, a top 10 Clemson and Michigan
A friend of mine bought tickets for his friends and they backed out on him. These will probably be in Tech section.
Tickets are split up in sections 341 and 352. Email him at vatechhokie2@gmail.com
Being from Roanoke, VA, I think if they are available, you have to take VT. Since mid-90s, VT has dominated that state and that area in football. It's the only big time sport really in the whole SW VA area. With fans spread out across VA, NC, TN and up past DC, you grab huge markets in...
But when you have a young defensive backfield, your LBs have to assist in coverage a lot more. With a great backfield (ie 2009), you can add a lot more LB, CB, and Safety blitzes. Look at Texas A&M game. With LBs having to drop back more often and your DL just clogging up the line (no rush), he...
I went there a few times throughout Fall of 2010 and they would have "Beat Penn State" or "Beat Tennessee" in the other team's colors showing on them and that was it. No cable TV for sure.
I've heard from a co-worker of mine that there an alumni type society in St Louis where people get together to watch the games. Don't know where but may be easy to look for.
Re: next round of expansion already getting underway
I would love the VaTech addition, but friends in Blacksburg tend to think there is no way that happens without VT and UVA being a package deal. I believe UVA helped out a lot to pull VT into the ACC from the Big East and both for the rivalry...
I disagree. Look at the SEC championship game. When it came in we thought that would be a huge disadvantage, but everyone has followed suit and it has changed the face of college football. 16 team conference may make for harder games, but if you're a recruit, where are you headed? Big boy football
Why not so much love for Kevin Norwood? I know the media and everyone is giving all of the credit to AJ (which it is deserved), but to get open on three straight plays, keep his feet in in two, and almost making a go-ahead TD if it wasn't for their feet getting tangled up, Norwood didn't have...
I've been up there. It's pretty nice. It's up where a lot of the coaches and staff eat lunch. It does overlook the weight room. Pretty nice. They have tv screens up there and down in the weight room that always have "Beat _____" whoever we play that week. On the opposite side of the room is the...
